WRONG WRONG If you use SMS to AOL or Yahoo, it DOES cost SMS ... It is NOT free.. The service itself is provided "for free" meaning no additional cost to simply have access to AIM... If you use the imbedded (menu item such as on R225, 3390, 3595, etc) it uses SMS as does using sending AND receiving to and from 46XX series SMS direct access...
All accounts DO NOT "include" 50 messages... TMobile stopped offering that with almost all new price plans about a year ago... Even before then, some accounts included different amounts... ie the old Talk and Text with 300 SMS... Voice mail notifcations are free regardless of 1 or 100... they are not reg SMS...
